Deep peroneal nerve injury during plate fixation for medial open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy: A case report and cadaveric study

This report presents a case of deep peroneal nerve palsy caused by an injury during drilling for distal locking screws of a T‐shaped locking plate used for osteosynthesis of medial open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy. A cadaveric simulation study reproduced the risk of injury during the surgery.
